Daily Presidential Approval Index

[Peter3_1]

Can you say PRESIDENT MacChrystal? Our current president is incompetent in military matters and in economics. He has no leadership abilities, is indecisive, surrounds himself with sycapaths, cannot tollerate disagreement, especially when it is correct.

MacC, on the otherhand is well educated in the art of war, can change tactics successfully in nearly any circumstance, can accept a critique of his work without malace, is smart enough to hire economists who don't think that you make a hole smaller by digging in it, and so on. Wouyldn't it be nice to have a COMPETENT man as president?

You could use those words to describe almost any retired general in the country.  I'd love to see a run from Schwarzkopf, the man is a true leader, but his politics are a bit of a mystery.

The fact that he claims to have voted for Obama is what I would tend to call a TOTAL RED FLAG on that idea.

[JohnnyReb]

The fact that he claims to have voted for Obama is what I would tend to call a TOTAL RED FLAG on that idea.

That's all I need to know.....to not vote for him.

He'd have to run on the democrat ticket and that's a no go for me.....and if he ran as a republican, he'd be a RINO, so again a no go for me.

[Peter3_1]

It may be that he just was very angry at McCain to the point he'd have voted for the Aflac Duck over that RINO. Anyway, we'll see what his intentions are and his politics are as time passes. I am willing to bet good money they are not the Socialist anti semetic standards of Mr. Obama!

[thundley4]

Back to -15.

For one thing, those 2 bit dictators in N.K. and Iran would not be shooting off their mouths. Rather they would be shitting bricks and being worried about getting their country totally annihilated

[Crazy Horse]

-14 today

[thundley4]

-9 this morning. It can only be because he was in Canada and people hoped he would stay there.

[thundley4]

-19 this morning.

[Peter3_1]

Look at the market....Obama should just shut the hell up and step out of the way of the economy.  It would grow and so would Obama's "popularity". But he just can't, an indication of just how severe his malagnent narcissism affliction is.

[Mike220]

-19 this morning.

10 points in 3 days? Impressive.

[miskie]

it should be real interesting in the next couple of days - now that obama has decided that the most important thing to pass is 'immigration reform'

He is like a kid with a Rubik's Cube. "Twist-twist-twist.. ahh --the hell with this !! lets do Sudoku.. scribble scribble.. Sudoku sucks ! Lets get out a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle... etc.... Screw it all - Its vacation time !"

[Lacarnut]

10 points in 3 days? Impressive.

He is back on the campaign trail lying his ass off. The folks are not buying it.

[NHSparky]

10 points in 3 days? Impressive.

The day with the -9 was an outlier.  Not exactly sure why his strong disapprovals went down that much.  But with the long weekend, it won't be as bad (for Zero) as -20.

Pay attention to the news today and tomorrow.  Lots of announcements by this administration which won't get a lot of (or any) press.

And where are the ads being plastered all over our TV's telling people to call their Representative and say NO to Amnesty? there should be ads running mentioning Amnesty and the high unemployment rate Americans are facing.

[NHSparky]

Keeping their powder dry.  Better to run the ads after Labor Day.

On a brighter note:

[Chris_]

No change today... still -20.

[Duke Nukum]

-17 today after three days of no polling.

[franksolich]

Still -17.

Most voters believe that the Iraqi people are better off because of the War in Iraq  and the removal of Saddam Hussein from power. A plurality believes that the U.S. is a less dangerous place to live because of that war, but 22% think it’s more dangerous now in the United States.

Still -17.

but 22% think it’s more dangerous now in the United States.

I look for that number to go up..

[Duke Nukum]

-17 yet again.  The numbers haven't changed for three days in a row.

[debk]

-17 yet again.  The numbers haven't changed for three days in a row.

No polling over the holiday weekend, maybe?

[Duke Nukum]

No polling over the holiday weekend, maybe?

I don't think that is it because if you look back on the trends page the numbers bounced around after most three day holidays where there was no polling.

[franksolich]

Still -17 today.

Americans are evenly split over whether or not they’re willing to pay higher taxes to prevent changes or cuts in Social Security benefits. The split falls neatly along generational lines with those over 50 favoring tax hikes and those under 50 taking the opposite view.

Investor confidence has fallen to the lowest level of 2010. Fifty-five percent (55%) of investors believe the economy is getting worse. Confidence among investors hasn’t been this low in nearly a year (since July 28, 2009).

When it comes to Arizona’s immigration law, voters are not divided. Just 28% favor the Justice Department lawsuit against the state while twice as many are opposed.

If West Virginia has a Senate race this fall, Joe Manchin begins the campaign with a double-digit lead. However, he would be campaigning in a state that strongly opposes the president’s agenda on health care reform, immigration, and other topics.

In  Illinois,  Democratic Governor Pat Quinn has gained ground after announcing he will cut state spending. The race is not a Toss-Up.

The Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Balance of Power projection shows four current Democratic Senate seats likely to flip and nine Toss-Ups.
